My son repeatedly seeks out this application/interactive story book for multiple reasons:

1. You can watch the entire story, with animated CGI, at once; under 9 minutes. This story is based around numbers.

2. You can flip through the book manually and touch all the characters to hear sounds and interact (his favorite part).

3. There are plenty of games; memory (his favorite), puzzle (advanced for him), painting (advanced).

For the adult this story is rather amusing, more because of the sounds the characters make - since they are frightened of the friendly spider ("Oh NOOOOO"). At $9.99 it's one of the more expensive apps I have purchased, it isn't small either; 250MB+. The 2.0 update fixed crashing issues and other minor quirks. But this app is worth it for your child, I would place it more in the entertainment category vs. edutainment or education.
